Rostow was also, colleagues recalled, a whirlwind of supreme self-confidence, talkative to the point of verbosity, certain of the moral rectitude of his positions and unwavering in the face of criticism, even as doubts about the wisdom of the Vietnam War grew in Johnson's inner circle.
Rostow was among the first officials to urge the bombing of North Vietnam, and he was the principal author of a November 1961 report recommending an increase in United States military aid and advisers at all levels to the South Vietnamese government, shifting the relationship from purely advisory to one of "limited partnership."
Rostow is survived by a son, Peter, of Del Rio, Calif., a daughter, Ann, of Austin, and one grandchild.
